A Night in Casablanca Brings in Nearly $300K for the Health Museum

A Night in Casablanca Brings in Nearly $300K for the Health Museum

James Flowers and Robin French

THE HEALTH MUSEUM hosted its annual fundraising dinner at the Four Seasons hotel Downtown, where a Casablanca-themed evening had everyone moving, grooving — and raking in nearly $300K for the museum!

Chaired by James Flowers, the event celebrated the institution's mission to inspire the next generation of healthcare workers, via its Discovery Camps, field trips and the groundbreaking DeBakey Cell Lab. A fantastic multi-course dinner, provided by the hotel's Toro Toro restaurant, was a great way to start off the night. A live auction featured items like a pamper-rific weekend at the Houstonian's Bush Suite, a private party dubbed "Night at the Museum," and more; a paddles-up segment also contributed to the evening's total till.

A string trio from party band Doppelganger segued into a livelier set with the full band, and guests hit the dance floor all night long!

Alira Med Spa Owner, World Travel Blogger, Influencer, Philanthropist

Med Spa Owner

As a small business owner, I get to wear many hats. I became an Aesthetician to gain more knowledge about the services my business was going to provide, thinking that I will only focus on the administrative side of the business. Soon I became the business administrator and the lead Aesthetician. Currently, I am hands-on with our social media and marketing promotions, in addition to my regular facial clients. As time has passed, I realized I needed it to ramp up my services and technology to keep up with our competitors and now we offer a wide variety of Medical Spa services such as injectables and laser treatments.
